Emergency personnel rescued a group of people and several suffered minor injuries Saturday after an incident at a central Pennsylvania ski area.

A photo from the scene at Tussey Mountain Ski Area in Boalsburg, near State College, shows five chairs and several people pinned together on an immobile ski lift.

The Centre Daily Times reports people were lowered by ropes and several were transported from the area by ambulance. A reporter said everyone was taken off the life and none of the injuries were serious. A police officer noted that the ski patrol handled the situation well.

A message on Tussey Mountain's Facebook page says: "Having difficulties with the chairlift.. we are working on it now. May not be able to run it today." The park opened for the season Saturday.
